The BOI provides incentives for doing business in Thailand within the fast-growing solar power industry. This includes the manufacturing of parts and/or equipment for solar-powered products.

Global investment in renewable energy grew tremendously last year, far surpassing fossil fuels and driving down the price of clean energy. As appeal for sustainable fuel grows, new infrastructure and supply is being created to meet global demand. In 2017, world investment in solar energy grew by a staggering 20%. In Thailand, 8% of energy consumption comes from renewable energy; the country hopes to raise this figure to 30% by 2036. Attractive incentives are offered to investors in the industry.
